What If Er Feng Were the First Emperor's Crown Prince?

Completed: [Li Shimin Livestreams After Becoming Fusu]

New story now underway: [What If the First Emperor Were Li Shimin's Crown Prince?], a father and son bound together.

After Li Shimin dies, he is reborn as a baby, and his father turns out to be the young King of Qin, Ying Zheng.

At the baby-grabbing ceremony, little Er Feng grabs Ying Zheng's clothes and demands to be held. At four, he helps Ying Zheng put down the Lao Ai rebellion and is made crown prince. In his teens, he sneaks onto the battlefield. Their days of chaos and affectionate father-son bickering begin early.

“Your Majesty, disaster! His Highness the Crown Prince has disappeared again! I hear he's gone to fight the Xiongnu!”

From King of Qin to First Emperor, Ying Zheng has united the realm and seized all power, but even today, he still wants to beat this crown prince to death!

Meng Yi: I wonder who it was that he cheered up with just one sentence.

Wang Jian: His Highness was peeking through the window when His Majesty begged me to come out of retirement.

Meng Tian: Will someone spare a thought for me? There's a crown prince in my army!

Li Xin: You'll get used to it. Wasn't it the same last time we fought Chu? Don't worry. With the crown prince around, we can't lose.

A super lighthearted wish-fulfillment story, with lots of scenes of the young King of Qin raising little Er Feng.

This is not real history, so please treat it as a parallel world. The canon couples remain intact. Er Feng is still paired with Changsun.

Potential warning: Xiang Yu will be killed in this story, so proceed with caution if that bothers you.

Coming soon: [What If the First Emperor Were Li Shimin's Crown Prince?]

The First Emperor really is a dragon.

In the first year of Wude, Qin Prince Consort Changsun Wuyou lays an egg, a dragon egg.

The young Prince of Qin, Li Shimin, is completely baffled. Yuan Tiangang talks him into taking the egg with him to the battlefield.

He goes to war with the egg tucked against his chest. The fighting turns against him, an epidemic spreads, and Li Shimin catches it. In the middle of the night, he cradles the egg and frets.

The shell cracks, and a child no bigger than a fist, with horns and a long tail, crawls out.

The child opens dark golden eyes, instantly kills a demon beast that has come to ambush them, then swallows it whole.

“Don't eat random things!” Li Shimin cries out in horror.

After a long time preparing himself mentally, he thinks, What does it matter if I'm raising a dragon? What's the big deal?

Even if the child is aloof, so what? He can pick him up and kiss him whenever he wants.

But what does it mean that there's a monkey who wreaked havoc in Heaven trapped under the Five Elements Mountain?

And what does it mean that the child he's painstakingly raised is actually the First Emperor reborn?

“Which First Emperor?”

“You know which one.” Ying Zheng replies calmly. “You're not going to cry again, are you? Is it really reasonable for the Heavenly Khan to cry so much?”

“Is it reasonable that my child is you?”

A day-in-the-life story of Er Feng raising little Zheng, with lots of scenes from Zheng's childhood. Changsun remains his canon partner, and stories like Journey to the West appear as small touches, but it's still mainly historical. Most people are ordinary.

Zheng's memories gradually return as he grows older. When he's little, Li Shimin can kiss and cuddle him all he likes.

I guess this counts as a child-rearing story… maybe? (8.11)
